James Van Der Beek
James William Van Der Beek, Jr. (born March 8, 1977) is an American television, film and stage actor, known for his portrayal of Dawson Leery in the WB Network drama series Dawson’s Creek.
Toward the end of his sophomore year of college, Van Der Beek auditioned for three television pilots. One of them was for the fledgling WB Network. The show was Dawson’s Creek. Van Der Beek won the title role of “Dawson Leery”, and the show’s 1998 debut was a massive success that not only helped to establish the network, but made stars (and teen idols) of its cast, which also included Katie Holmes
, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, and Kerr Smith. The series, shot in Wilmington, North Carolina, ran for six seasons, was hugely popular among the coveted 18-34 year old demographic, and was syndicated all over the world.
Van Der Beek parlayed the success of the show into film in 1999, starring in the teen football comedy Varsity Blues which was #1 at the box office for two weeks, broke the current box-office record for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend at that time, and grossed $53 million in the U.S alone. Van Der Beek won an MTV Movie Award for his leading role.
